Koa Static Cache
Static server for koa.
Differences between this library and other libraries such as static:
- There is no directory or
index.htmlsupport. - You may optionally store the data in memory - it streams by default.
- Caches the assets on initialization - you need to restart the process to update the assets.(can turn off with options.preload = false)
- Uses MD5 hash sum as an ETag.
- Uses .gz files if present on disk, like nginx gzip_static module
Installation
$ npm install koa-static-cacheAPI
staticCache(dir [, options] [, files])
var path = require('path')
var staticCache = require('koa-static-cache')
app.use(staticCache(path.join(__dirname, 'public'), {
maxAge: 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
}))dir(str) - the directory you wish to serve, priority thanoptions.dir.options.dir(str) - the directory you wish to serve, default toprocess.cwd.options.maxAge(int) - cache control max age for the files,0by default.options.cacheControl(str) - optional cache control header. Overridesoptions.maxAge.options.buffer(bool) - store the files in memory instead of streaming from the filesystem on each request.options.gzip(bool) - when request's accept-encoding include gzip, files will compressed by gzip.options.usePrecompiledGzip(bool) - try use gzip files, loaded from disk, like nginx gzip_staticoptions.alias(obj) - object map of aliases. See below.options.prefix(str) - the url prefix you wish to add, default to''.options.dynamic(bool) - dynamic load file which not cached on initialization.options.filter(function | array) - filter files at init dir, for example - skip non build (source) files. If array set - allow only listed filesoptions.preload(bool) - caches the assets on initialization or not, default totrue. always work together withoptions.dynamic.options.files(obj) - optional files object. See below.files(obj) - optional files object. See below.Aliases
For example, if you have this alias object:
{
'/favicon.png': '/favicon-32.png'
}Then requests to /favicon.png will actually return /favicon-32.png without redirects or anything.
This is particularly important when serving favicons as you don't want to store duplicate images.
Files
You can pass in an optional files object. This allows you to do two things:
Combining directories into a single middleware
Instead of doing:
app.use(staticCache('/public/js'))
app.use(staticCache('/public/css'))You can do this:
var files = {}
// Mount the middleware
app.use(staticCache('/public/js', {}, files))
// Add additional files
staticCache('/public/css', {}, files)The benefit is that you'll have one less function added to the stack as well as doing one hash lookup instead of two.
Editing the files object
For example, if you want to change the max age of /package.json, you can do the following:
var files = {}
app.use(staticCache('/public', {
maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24 * 365
}, files))
files['/package.json'].maxAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 30Using a LRU cache to avoid OOM when dynamic mode enabled
You can pass in a lru cache instance which has tow methods: get(key) and set(key, value).
var LRU = require('lru-cache')
var files = new LRU({ max: 1000 })
app.use(staticCache({
dir: '/public',
dynamic: true,
files: files
